A very very quick post!

South America 2005

Will try to elaborate later… Basically have about no time to blog.

Spent a really nice day today. Went up the side of a mountain, and saw Jesus! (A statue thereof). He looked really shocked, it was quite funny.

Was feeling a tiny bit ill today (tail-end of what they called Guardia) and a little bit homesick, so it was really nice just to potter about. We looked around Saqsaywaman (yes that is its real name) and I was quite surprised to find myself taken by them. There was actually a sense of mystery about them, maybe because of the few tourists, don’t know. Normally I find ruins quite boring.

Afterwards, we went to an Irish pub called Paddy Flaherty’s, which I recommend to anyone feeling homesick or who isn’t trusting Peruvian food, because they serve Shepherd’s Pie and the puddings are really nice.

While we were in there, there was another (another!) parade, but this time it was actually quite nice because they had some really good dancers. They were actually lovely.

Anyway, gotta go now cos my friends are all waiting, but will try to expand upon this entry. Might not happen tho… ;)
